Basil and tomatoes compliment each other beautifully and are usually overflowing in my garden in the late summer months. This is a wonderful way to use them up, serve this as an appetizer or a side dish.

Slice bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on a tray and spray lightly with olive oil. Toast bread under broiler, until golden, watching closely not to let it burn. When bread is toasted, rub each piece with whole garlic clove.

Place bread on a platter and top with tomato mixture. Serve immediately or the bread will become soggy. Makes approximately 26 small slices.
